Alright, I've completed Cece's story now. *On a technical note, my old laptop hated the animations in this. I cannot upgrade or update my video drivers any further. I tried changing framerate and renderer options, adjusted to the low quality concert... nothing fixed it. So, I used YTube exactly 3x. 1) To hear the pantomimed (removed) song in the limo (timed it pretty well to the game, if I say so myself). 2) The ass guessing game (my video stutters and skips the scene after the first two). Pretty neon glow! The animation was so quick and smooth on something other than my PC. Still didn't know one end from another. 3) The concert. Even with the lower quality setting it wouldn't play past the blue stage lights. So I watched that video separate too.*
(I still have no idea what happens after the post credit scene after the guys look up at the glow in the sky.)
I liked the AVN for the most part. Chapter 6 seemed like it had an urgency to reach some story beats, rushed it, and so some of the plot and pacing didn't make a lot of sense my first time reading through. Specifically, while it's sweet, I don't know that the prom sequence feels believable or plausible. Since the MC never really knew about it and others didn't know the details, it seemed forced that the MC and Linda just decided to go to the school on happenstance. Oh, well. Not a big deal. Unfortunately, it felt like the author chose to wrap a few things up a little too fast to get to that chapter's bigger conclusion. Then, this is where a lot of those 4th wall breaks began, including an earlier choice that wasn't ("I'm going to take executive control here. Sit back and relax.") I'm paraphrasing. It jolted my immersion a bit.
The story was more personally emotional for me through chapter 7. The Lexi conclusion was nice, but the images shown took some artistic liberties, as some of those scenes were private and not captured on camera. How would Lexi or her paparazzi have them? I understand Drifty's take artistically, but again, immersion. That's it. That's all my complaints. I got Cece's pregnant ending. Which, actually says quite a bit about the choices I made...
I do intend to keep going and try out the other paths when I can. To whoever read this, thanks! And sorry for my ramblings.
been around 3 years since i last played this. great game despite the heartbreaking ending of chapter 6, especially with the lengthy wait for chapter 7 as i recall. but with so many shit games nowadays and the good ones being caught up, decided to play this again. the newer version also had me curious as to what was new etc. on with the fun..and the heartbreak..
I played each route and everything is basically the same, just that the girl and backstory change, but that's the same amount of content on each route. If something is shortened, it's SLIGHTLY shortened maybe, but you said it like the game cut 2h of content.
The Cece route is the "canon" route for playthru anyway, if you play Drifty's current game, the Cece cameo states that she and the LOF MC are still together, regardless of whatever love interest route you took in Leap of Faith...so you don't have to play the Lexi route to get content, all love interest paths have lots
When I saw the Artemis crossover when kindra jumped on the main protagonist I Laughed out loud and the dialogue with it is too funny Keep up the good work man I Love your games Dritfy.
not check the dev's new game yet and about to check soon. is there any game like this game tho? i played this game years before and still pretty fresh in my memory lol.

I don't think it was rushed, really. But it was developed coming off a huge chaotic time after his initial steam release nearly broke the game with the musicopalypse disaster (search the thread for "music" or "alypse" and you should find more detail), so who knows if there was some story beats that got truncated. But the concert and the epilogues apparently remained intact (although pretty sure there would have been a different song in the concert if things hadn't gone wrong ... maybe even a couple of options for the concert song depending on if you're on Lexi path or not).
I just picked up this game and finished it two days ago. It hit me soo good (?) that I haven't played anything else since then. I plan to play next Cece's path, since from the begining I thought that following Lexi's one was the most natural thing to do. I mean you get approached by a top super star who later invite you to her house, aren't you going to get onboard? Well maybe if you are seriously committed previously maybe not, but this was MC just a couple of days after the events of meeting Linda, Cece and the others, so it felt the most natural to me.
